This recipe has the basic Essential Oils for homemade Tiger
Balm, with a few extras. My husband and
I both use this as a pre-work out salve on joints that we know is giving us
problems or when we have worked around the yard or the house and know that we
might be sore after days end.
The general salve rule I use is for every cup of oil, I use
2 tablespoons of beeswax. This recipe
is for a smaller portion.
Ingredients:
Salve Recipe
½ Tablespoon beeswax1/2 Cup of Coconut oil
Few drops of
Vitamin E oil (this acts as a preservative)
Place
coconut oil and beeswax in a double boiler and melt at a low heat stirring
occasionally.
Pour melted
oils in your glass container then add your Vitamin E oil. Let oils cool for about 10 minutes before
adding your Essential oils or they will evaporate more quickly.

Stir your
Essential Oils into your salve with a small wooden spoon or I use two bamboo
skewers. I don’t like to use metal in my
salves as Coconut oil has the ability to remove rust from metal. You risk contaminating your salve by using a
metal spoon.
Immediately
after you stir in your essential oils, cover your jar immediately so your oils
do not evaporate.
